The Scientist [edit]
- We had such potential. Such promise. But we squandered our gifts, our intelligence. Our blind pursuit of technology only sped us quicker to our doom. Our world is ending. But life must go on.
1 [edit]
- Sometimes, one must be sacrificed for the good of many.
- [Last words] They've left us nothing. Nothing. Why do we have to right their wrongs? Sometimes, one must be sacrificed.
2 [edit]
- Wait! I'm a friend.
- Yes, I've always hoped.
- So much thought. The details, carved wood, molded copper.
- Wait! What are you doing?! We don't know what it is!
Dialogue [edit]
- 9: You're nothing but a coward.
- 1: How dare you challenge me? I, who kept everyone safe? Ever since you got here, everything have been unraveling. You're a curse! A fool, guided by pointless queries!
- 9: And you are a blind man, guided by fear.
- [A shadow darkens the room as something flies by the church window]
- 1: Sometimes, fear is the appropriate response.
- 5: This was the first thing we built together.
- 9: We can still go after him.
- 5: Us? But he could be anywhere out there.
- 1: When we awoke in this world, it was chaos. Man and machine attacked each other with fire and metal. The gas killed everything. I led us here... to Sanctuary. Here we waited for the war to end. Slowly the world become silent. All that remains now, is the beast. So we stay hidden, and we wait for it too to sleep.
- 9: But where did it come from? Why is it hunting us?
- 1: Questions like that are pointless! We need to protect ourselves. Keep ourselves out of danger. Too many of us have already been lost.
- 9: But he isn't lost.
- '(1 walks away)':
- 9: Why aren't you listening to me?
- 1: 2 chose his own path!
- [last lines]
- 7: What happens next?
- 9: I'm not sure, exactly. But this world is ours now. It's what we make of it.
